Émaux et Camées
Theophile Gautier
226pp.; 18.7 x 12 cm. Paper wraps printed in black.
Published Paris: Bibliothèque Charpentier, 1911
Part of Sources, I
From the library of A. David Moody
Turned from the “eau-forte
Par Jaquemart”
To the strait head
Of Messalina:
“His true Penelope
Was Flaubert,”
And his tool
The engraver’s.
— 1920 (Mauberley)
A later edition of the Édition Définitive (first in 1872) which carries this eau-forte by J. Jacquemart. With a note in pencil by A.D.M. to the title page to this effect. Lacking the front cover; some loss to the paper covering the spine, but sound. In a paper envelope with a note in ink referencing “Mauberley 1920.”
